In the recent times, the research activity dealt mainly with respiratory mechanics. These are studied by the end-inflation occlusion method (Bates JHT, Baconnier P, Milic-Emili J (1988) A theoretical analysis of interrupter technique for measuring respiratory mechanics. J Appl Physiol 64: 2204-2214) in the experimental animal (rat). Respiratory mechanics parameters such as respiratory system elastance, the ohmic and visco-elastic resistances, and hysteresis, are quantified and analyzed under a variety of experimental conditions. These include the study of the effects of physical variables (volume of inflation, inflation flow, body temperature, hyperbarix oxygen exposure, intraabdominal pressure changes), pharmacological agents (various drugs currently utilized in the medical practice), and physiologically active substances (angiotensin and nitric oxide among the others).
